    摘要: An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes an image carrier made up of a conductive base and photoconductive layer and a toner carrier to which a bias for development is applied. The toner carrier conveys toner deposited thereon to a developing position where the toner carrier faces the image carrier, thereby developing a latent image formed on the image carrier. The apparatus effects low-voltage development that protects the image carrier from electrostatic fatigue, obviates background contamination, and realizes image density as high as 0.5 ×10−3 g/cm2 or above in terms of the amount of toner deposition. Further, the apparatus implements faithful development of the latent image by reducing the edge effect. An image forming process unit removable from the apparatus is also disclosed.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a bias power supply for applying a bias VB to a developer carrier on which a developer is deposited. A charge potential deposited on an image carrier, which faces the developer carrier for forming a latent image thereon, is 400 V or below in absolute value. Assume that the potential of the image carrier is lowered to VL after exposure, that a development potential is |VB−VL|, that the maximum set value of the development potential for development is |VB−VL|max, and that the development potential varies in a range satisfying relations: |VB−VL|≦|VB−VL|max+|VB−VL|max×0.2 |VB−VL|≧|VB−VL|max−|VB−VL|max×0.2 |VB−VL|max≦300 V Then image density varies by a width of 10% of image density corresponding to the maximum set value of the development potential or less.

    摘要: The development is performed under a condition that |Q2|−|Q1|/|Q1≦±0.45. Here, Q1 denotes an average amount of charge on toner held on a development roller and carried toward a development region immediately before development. Q2 denotes an average amount of charge on toner immediately before development held and carried toward the development region in the state immediately after development of an electrostatic latent image on a development drum. This is effective to allow the amount of charge q/m on toner held on the development roller to have a variation rate of 45% or below and an afterimage rate R within 2%.

    摘要: A developing device for an image forming apparatus of the type feeding a one-ingredient or two-ingredient type developer, forming a thin toner layer on a developing roller or toner support member and developing a latent image with the toner layer is disclosed. The toner support member has a surface that is chargeable to the same polarity as toner. The toner support member therefore serves to simply support the toner without electrostatically effecting the toner, so that the development of a latent image is free from the influence of the static electricity of the toner support member. This successfully enhances image quality. A photoconductive element has a coefficient of friction &mgr; confined in the range of 0.1

    摘要: A developing device for an image forming apparatus includes a developing roller for conveying toner deposited thereon to a developing region where it faces a photoconductive element. A magnet brush roller conveys a two-ingredient type developer, which consists of toner and magnetic particles, deposited thereto to a toner supplying region where it faces the developing roller. In the toner supplying region, only the toner is supplied from the magnet brush roller to the developing roller. The distribution of the number of toner particles for an amount of charge differs from the developing roller to the magnet brush roller.

The developing section includes a developer carrier for conveying a one-component type developer deposited thereon, a feeding member for feeding the developer to the developer carrier, and a conveying member for conveying the developer toward the feeding member while agitating it. The developer storing section replenishes a developer stored therein to the developing section in a direction including at least a horizontal direction component. The developing section and developer storing section are formed with a plurality of openings in the lengthwise direction such that the replenishment of developer from the developer storing section to the developing section and the return of the developer from the latter to the former are executed via the openings.
